In a motorcycle collision, it is second nature for a person to protect themselves by using their arms. Biker’s arm covers a broad range of injuries to the nerves in the upper arm that can result when a biker uses their arm to brace their fall in a crash, or if the motorcycle lands on their arm. The nerves at risk of being damaged when a biker crashes are the median, ulnar, and radial nerves.
